Interesting. Can we have have at least a tiny bit of info how this data came to be?
Not just this one, but all the infographs, maps etc. Always leave entirely open if someone just guessed the data for the lulz.
This makes me a litte sad sometimes
So the map is more accurately titled “How American Twitter users refer…”
“White american male twitter users”, according to the last paragraph
I could have not clicked that video. But I did. And I regret it.

Thanks! I think it would be a great rule of thumb for lemmy to always include sauce and especially the sidefacts about the data that relativize it. (See other replies)
Less shiny maybe, but more real :)
Haha, I do quick dumps. Maybe when I have more time, but in the meantime you guys usually pull through digging around, and you usually find some extra cool stuff too. :)
So basically you’re doing the “don’t ask, just say something on the Internet to issue a challenge” method of learning stuff?
Sometimes, sometimes I am curious to know more too, sometimes I know things are right, sometimes I know they are wrong but it makes for good conversation… I pick from the meme firehose (feeds) ones I know will make for interesting threads. It is a vibe. It does not take me long to get the memes, so it is a fun passive thing. I do this for fun too. :) It is also why I insist that we use “meme” in the Dawkins sense (see sidebar).
Sometimes its a fine line between infographs and memes. Sometimes it isn’t
People in Washington don’t refer to each others.

The most glaring thing I saw too. I lived a large chunk of my life in So Cal and everyone was bro.

I dunno my guy.
Northeast US left off because they just say “Yo asshole”
what happened to man… as in hey man.
Can’t afford the ticket. . . . BACK TO SUFFRAGETTE CITY
I don’t know, my man.
that is cool, maaan. you tha man ! oh maaaan did you see those protests in US ?
As a Washingtonian, as usual, I’m glad to barely be represented on a heat map of something.
I love that New England doesn’t show a preference for any of the choices. My theory: Boston throws off the curve with “asshole” and “fucker” and the data scientists didn’t want to cover cursing.
Masshole.
New England always on top, in our own way; confusing to those who aren’t from around here.
I’m not your bro, pal.
Dude.
I’m not a dude, buddy.
I’m not your buddy, fella
HI NOT YOUR BUDDY FELLA IM DAD
HI DAD I’M HUNGRY
I was upset that Kentucky didn’t have much coverage, but then I realized that “Hosscat” wasn’t one of the choices.
Don’t forget “guy” and “chief”.
they forgor 💀
Eastern Pennsylvania apparently has no word for Bros.
It’s just a nod and a quickly whispered “Go Birds.”
Youse guys
He speaks the shibboleth!
“Jawn”
I’m apparently in the “Pal” region and it’s not a word I use often to refer to people, nor have I heard it used often by others either.
We use “Dude” pretty often, but looking at the map you’d think this is a dude desert.
Further down the article this screen’s taken from, they show the raw data they got for “dude”, and its usage is pretty much everywhere.
Hypothesis: you can go to the Great lakes region and just make random noises and people will be like "hey, what’s up?”.
